Excelerate LLC is a boutique consulting firm distinguished by its hands-on, collaborative approach to solving complex business challenges. We partner closely with our clients, bringing deeply experienced consultants who work in a facilitative style to deliver practical, lasting impact. Our work is grounded in four core values: humility, energy, integrity, and flexibility. These principles shape our culture, guide our work, and define the people who thrive here.

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to drive execution across a portfolio of enterprise transformation initiatives spanning ERP/EPM modernization, Chart of Accounts redesign, contract lifecycle management, and privacy programs. This is a technically fluent leadership role, partnering closely with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to translate complex domain requirements into structured, delivered outcomes.

• Experience leading Chart of Accounts redesign and understanding how upstream ERP architecture supports downstream EPM and reporting.

• Experience establishing program governance, operating rhythms, and mobilization plans for large-scale transformations.

• Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to influence and present to C-suite stakeholders.
